The abortion law builds on legislation passed in 2010 that represented a major shift for a traditionally Catholic country, transforming Spain into one of the most progressive countries in Europe on reproductive rights. Spain's constitutional court last week rejected a challenge by the right-wing Popular Party against allowing abortions in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy.
The debate will be heated in Spain, I imagine, as the conservative opposition pushes back. My daughter had horrible menstrual pain during her adolescence and young adulthood. I'm certain that she would have benefitted from that time.
Many of us saw the decline and spoke up about it with examples well before we even imagined Trump was going to run.
LOL....was George Clooney in on the "schtick"? About the folks from within the administration and press who have admitted they had covered up for him? Maybe Robert Hur was too?
Heck, how about Biden himself? Was the debate performance all part of the "schtick"?
Old, old, old news. We ALL saw Biden's decline but he wasn't a man with a huge chainsaw destroying everything in his path. What makes you think that Trump isn't demented? He speaks in word salads, loses his train of thought, etc. Meanwhile white Africans are invited to be flown to the US with refugee status while browns are deported to El Salvador with tattoos of Mom and arrows on their arms. For the folks who aren't gang members, their only crime (illegally crossing the border) is a misdemeanor and they don't deserve a death sentence in a foreign country. This isn't very different from sending people to concentration camps because of their racial identity.

You keep bringing him up.
No, it wasn't me bringing it up. It was me replying to another member who believes the Biden cognitive decline narrative was fabricated to distract us from Trump.

The studied inability to discern Trump's mental illness and cognitive decline while continuing to fixate on Biden's capacity is part of the evidence that we are dealing with cult members existing in a propaganda bubble. As Trump's confusion and chaotic thinking become embarrassingly obvious, the projections of those weaknesses will increase in quantity and fervor. No one is supposed wonder why they can so clearly see Biden's normal decline while they are simultaneously blind to Trump's pathologic mental dysfunction.
The crazy old guy just elevated another TV personality and named a woman who has never practiced medicine to be Surgeon General but were supposed to worry about Biden and what he did? Hahaha
"Congressional Republicans and President Trump rightly pledged to protect Medicaid benefits and coverage—this bill fails that test. It is imperative Republicans go back to the drawing board; too many lives depend on it,” Chip Kahn, president and CEO of the Federation for American Hospitals, said in a statement.
Quote
The plan would make cuts to Medicaid by capping provider taxes, which states use to extract matching federal funds to cover Medicaid costs.
The bill would also institute work requirements, which create headaches for states to verify residents' eligibility and ultimately cause people to lose their coverage because of confusing paperwork.
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, work requirements are unnecessary because the vast majority of Medicaid recipients are either working, caregiving, not working because they are disabled or sick, or enrolled in school.
Perhaps Speaker Johnson will get control of his caucus and pass legislation that can pass a vote in the senate and will benefit the majority of the population. Senator Josh Hawley penned an op ED for the NYT today on the subject.
Quote
"If Congress cuts funding for Medicaid benefits, Missouri workers and their children will lose their health care. And hospitals will close. It's that simple. And that pattern will replicate in states across the country,” Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri wrote. "Republicans need to open their eyes: Our voters support social insurance programs. More than that, our voters depend on those programs.”
So ... I recently read two race-baiting posts from magadonian members. It led me to look over there to see what they're up to.
Behold: a gaggle of white afrikaners are getting special treatmen as refugees while the refugee resettlement program remains paused for the rest of the world.
Funny how that works, innit?
A thing to keep an eye on ...
Is this a manifestation of white supremacy? Or an attempt to resurrect the "reverse racism" fantasy? Or simply an example of Europeans being unable to tolerate not being the center of the social/political narrative? Or is the victimhood of white South Africans an accurate picture of what's going on there?

Not clear, yet. Will continue to monitor.
These people are literally being genocided and living in an oppressive government run by black supremacists. This is just a little different than people leaving countries in no turmoil claiming "asylum" to get free government benefits. There isn't enough unrest in Central America to justify this.
"In Minnesota, a 6-foot-tall biological male continues to dominate girls' softball.
As a sophomore last year, Marissa Rothenberger helped Champlin Park High School win 14-straight games heading into the playoffs and was named First-Team All-State — the only underclassman in the 4A division to earn the honor. Now a junior, Rothenberger remains a standout on the mound, with a 6-1 record, 67 strikeouts and a 0.76 ERA in 46 innings pitched, per Minnesota Softball Hub."

If the reference is to one of my posts, you need to tell the truth and shame the devil. I don't think I ever claimed the Biden decline narrative was fabricated but that it was exaggerated and misrepresented. Political discourse these days is infested with false equivalencies, and this was one of them. It was pushed specifically to mask trump's own deteriorating mental/emotional capacities.

I don't follow the whole uproar over trans people in sports, but I've noticed a particular concern over the potential advantage conferred by the biological effects of male hormones on physical performance.
The performance of bio-men is heavily influenced by testosterone. The transition from female to male involved bringing the trans woman's testosterone as close as possible to those of cis-gendered women. Is there and data available comparing trans women's actual physical performance compared to cis-gendered women? Do transwomen retain the physical advantages of cis-men that they had before transitioning?

You are going to have to prove what you are saying. I checked that particular topic in the South African news and can find no corroboration. There was one referral that was 11 years ago from a nut job on Twitter and Facebook along with a fact check that this was a lone liar.
